Your Heritage

So, what is your heritage or different heritages?

I'm caucasian British through and through. Well technically I'm Welsh, but Wales is part of Britain, so meh XD As far as I can trace back there's been no immigration in my family.

Interesting... If someone says they're British I just assume that they're either English or have a strictly civic national identity that has nothing to do with heritage.

Oh.. an in answer to your question. I'm a mix of various European countries. Mostly Wales and England.. but there's some Swiss French and Scandinavian in there so I'm told.

I also have some Samoan in me.

But my heritage and my national identity are completely different to me. Publicly I identify strictly with New Zealand for my national identity and my heritage is more of a private thing (similar to how many people practice religion).

I'm 50/50 German and Serbian. But I don't really feel like neither...

Absolutely no idea. I was adopted at the age of 10 days old and have never had any interest whatsoever to find out anything about my biological parents!

A Welsh guy saying they're British is like an English person saying they're European;it might be true but it's still naff!

I am Welsh up until my dad came into the family. I'm half.

I'm Dutch,
I don't look that Dutch tho , i think it was the mother of my grandfather that came from Romania and was a gypsy.
The other side of the family has its roots in Germany.
I have a darker tan than most dutch people over here and dark hair with light blue eyes...it's a weird combination

Hmm,sometimes I wish I was more exotic. Nothing I can do! They should make an operation that like lets you temporarily transform into different ethnicities. I'm glad I'm half-Welsh though. Someone on another site raised a good point that we tend to focus overly on our differences and we only really have superficial differences.
